It could work. Only if the port from your pc is the same as your broken ps4 port. The best way to find out is simply to compare them to each other. It is far from perfect though. Would highly recommend buying a new port for your ps4. Only a couple of bucks in China.

To add in here just for clarity’s sake. Even though HDMI ports look the same on the outside, the arrangement of where the pins are to connect to the motherboard is not always the same. And there are different HDMI standards that use the same connector.
You’ll want to make sure any port you’re considering using is the same form factor as the one in the PS5. Even the ports between the PS4 and PS5 are not identical.

I think the best way to answer why not is to consider PS4 fat HDMI ports compared to PS4 Slim/Pro HDMI ports: They're upside down/backwards!
Luckily, a Slim HDMI port costs less than $10, so the question is moot. Just use the right part. Oh and on Slims, white light no display is almost never the port anyways.
